This should be clearly identified. c. The property is in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. The locations of the wall signs must be shown on the building elevations. d. Where are the loading zone locations for the various pad sites? 6. A copy of the comments received from the Building Inspection Department is attached to this letter. 7. The Police Services has stated that caution should be taken to not over -plant the slopes between the walkways and the parking lots that would make it unsafe for pedestrian travel and provide too much concealment for would-be "attackers". This would not appear to be a problem along the perimeter of the site and the interior plantings (primarily evergreen shrubs) can be selected to maintain a height that will not obstruct visual connection between areas. The site lighting could/should be of a security type with a photo -cell on the timers as a safety feature. 8. All buildings over 5,000 square feet in size will have to be equipped with a fire suppression system or be compartmentalized to less than 5,000 square feet. 9. The Water/Wastewater Department has forwarded their comments to RBD Engineers on a red -lined set of utility plans and to Jim Sell Design on a red -lined Landscape Plan. 10. The Light & Power Department requires a 15, wide utility easement on West Horsetooth Road and South Shields Street. Also, they need a 10' wide utility easement along Century Drive and Arbor Drive. The street trees need to conform to the City's street light/tree standards. A preliminary street light layout is enclosed with the letter to Jim Sell Deisgn. 11. A copy of the comment sheet relative to water conservation standards from Jim Clark, the City's Water Conservation Specialist, is attached to this letter. 12. A copy of the comments received from the Engineering Department is attached to this letter. Also, a red -lined copy of the Site Plan, with additional comments, is enclosed with the letter to Jim Sell Design. 13. Where are the locations of the nearest transit stops? Is there a need for a new turnout and stop with this development? t .? July 14, 1995 Jim Sell Jim Sell Design 117 East Mountain Avenue Fort Collins, CO. 80524 Dear Jim, Staff has reviewed your documents for the First Amendment to the Four Seasons Overall Development Plan, Portion of Parcel H-1 and the Poudre Valley Plaza P.U.D., Preliminary that were submitted to the City on June 19, 1995, and would like to offer the following comments: 1. A copy of the comments received from U.S. West is attached to this letter. 2. The Streets Department raised a good question: "Will the common open space areas be maintained by a Homeowners Association or each individual homeowner?" This indicates some confusion about the proposed maintenance mechanism for the development. Project Note 4 on the Site Plan does state that "common open space areas will be maintained by the owners". However, the ownership of this commercial/office/residential plaza is not clearly identified in the planning objectives or on the Site Plan. Is there to be an overall project owner or will each pad site be individually owned? This information should be provided on the Site Plan. 3. The preliminary Site & Landscape Plan does not appear to contain any significant landscape information. Perhaps this should be just the Site Plan. There is a separate Landscape Plan. 4. Project Notes 4 and 5 on the Site Plan should be added to the Landscape Plan also. 5. The following comments were received from the Zoning Department: a. Pad 'A' requires a 5 car length stacking area for the drive -through facility. b. The parking provisions under Project Statistics on the Site Plan refers to 14 garages. Where are these garages
